just finished last of the khioew niouw when about 10 workers from other moshavim and kibbutzim arrived; i was eating outside with three poeple when someone came to say : time to leave, soon its going to get 'messy' i.e. fight /etc (i'm one woman and 20 drunk thais is not good combination)

he said people are 'took jai' and no i cant spell it cause i didnt have time to stand and ask for the spelling or clear meaning.... just that people were , i guess, getting drunker and tones were being raised etc... checked my list of 'jai' words but 'tookjai' does not give me the meaning that seems to fit this context. or i will have to wait until tomorrow to ask....

any general ideas??

ok i got it now; the one guy came out to us, he was 'ทุกข์ใจ ' that everyone is now getting drunk, etc so that's why they helped me go home faster, and why i ate outsside on the patio w/three thai men sort of eating with me so i wouldnt, god forbid, eat by myself.... its like having lots of older brothers

in the book 'heart talk' the definition was not exactly that, which is why i thought maybe it wasnt the same word... i guess upset/concerned maybe does fit...

thanx....

Should've been "yang" - with a mai han-akat, but snowy's eyes are going - just like mine :o :

ย้ง - has a "mai tho"

ยัง - has a "mai han-akat" = "yang"

หรือยัง ( rĕu yang ): [QUES] or not yet ;
